The holiday season often inspires a spirit of generosity, reminding us of the importance of community and supporting one another. At Royal Carting, our commitment to strengthening the Hudson Valley is a year-round mission. We believe in giving back to the communities where we live and work, helping local families, and supporting the organizations that make our region a better place for everyone.
As a proud Casella company, we are deeply committed to our community. In 2024, Casella employees volunteered 13,000 hours, reflecting our strong service culture. Casella also contributed over $2.499 million through charitable donations, in-kind services, and local sponsorships. This commitment guides our local efforts, and we are proud to support the important work happening right here in our neighborhoods.
